Blue light is known to be antimicrobial, but its effect on normal cutaneous and subcutaneous cells remains unclear. Therefore, we studied the effect of 470-nm light on the viability of adult and neonatal human dermal fibroblasts, Jurkat T-cells, and

Background In a recent study we showed that blue light inactivates methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by perturbing, depolarizing, and disrupting its cell membrane. Purpose The current study presents visual evidence that the observed

It is well documented that blue light absorption by bacterial chromophores triggers downstream production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which in turn results in bacterial cell death. To elucidate the importance of chromophores in the bactericidal
